Title: New visitor 2 mYfeeder
Post by: Porshaah on April 18, 2018, 08:41:23 AM

Hi all

long time no here (hear)

Not exactly new as I think I've seen it b4 but I didn't log it and I can't find it on the internet.

Need help identifying what I can describe quickly as a white breasted Baltimore Oriole with orange only on the sides of the breast and black and white on the rest of the body very similar to an Oriole.

TIA

Sorry 4 the confusion

If this was in Ontario it was a Eastern Towhee ......  not as Spotted.  Spotted Towhees are native to west coast and western states....only a few rare accounts in east, the Eastern are quite common in spring and just showing up now

I stand corrected, I'm in Ontario and in my haste to identify I likely over looked the details that differentiate the two.

BTW impressive flikr collection
